 Are you looking to adopt a wonderful adult Yorkshire Terrier like Rocky?
|
GOOD! You are in the right place! But before we go further we need to ask:
1. Have you done your homework on this breed - read a few books on the care and training of a Yorkie (Petco has a few small books that will help), asked questions of good breeders (not the backyard breeders down the street), veterinarians and other Yorkie owners, and found out all you can about this breed?
If not, start now, before you put in your application. Our dogs have lost everything - home, family, even their name - at least once. We don't want them to bounce from rescue to a home and back again. We want to be sure you know what you are asking for, before you take one of our Yorkies.
2. If you are sure this is the breed for your family (no small children - these dogs are not good with small children) and are eager to adopt an adult Yorkie who needs a loving, understanding home, please click on the link here:
" How to Adopt ". 
This free book guides you through the first seven days of Adopting a Shelter Dog . With seven simple lessons, the book helps you ease the transition from shelter life to home life for you and your pup. You can download your copy here

Where do our dogs come from?
Most of our dogs come from ordinary people who can no longer care for their Yorkie for whatever reason. Sometimes they come as strays. Occasionally, local animal shelters who consider rescue organizations like ours, a "last resort", call us to take the Yorkies that no one else will consider adopting - the blind, the elderly, the diabetic.
Foster Homes
After the dogs are rescued we place them in foster homes until we can find them a permanent home. Because we have already placed them in a home environment, we can tell you a little about their habits and house manners - something you wil not know if you adopt from a shelter or kennel.
Will the dog visit the vet before I adopt it?
Our dogs are vetted before being placed. This includes spay/neuter, heartworm test, deworming and vaccinations. The dogs are bathed and groomed. At times, we may rescue a dog which has severe hair loss, a broken leg, is heartworm positive, or has another serious problem. You will receive all the vetting information that we have. We make sure the dog receives proper veterinary care before it is placed.
Can I make a Donation or Sponsor a dog without Adopting?
YES!!! YES!! Anyone can make a donation or sponsor a dog without any commitment to adopt or foster a dog. We are 501(c)(3) charity and all donations are tax deducted.

This is Sandy, now Sammy who has just graduated from obedience classs. Look at that hat!
Sandy was named after Hurricane Sandy. The Hurricane took Sandy's home and almost took Sandy's life. He ended up in the rafters of the attic as his home floated out to sea. His owner broke a hole in the attic to let in rescuers but Sandy was too scared to come out. They had to leave Sandy there. They came back later to coax him out. Since his owner's home was gone - tossed about in the ocean - there was nowhere for Sandy to go. Shelters would not take him in with his people. So they called Save A Yorkie Rescue! We took in Sandy, and he was adopted by a wonderful family, who, as you can see, ADORE him! He's a graduate! Rock on Sammy!
 Heck, he may go on to medical school! Come on - help us help Yorkies! Join us and we'll save more dogs like Sandy.
